       Any news outlet that reports on the raid at the Hyundai plant in Georgia without mentioning that it is a direct competitor to Elon Musk's Tesla is missing the ball. Oh but right Elon has no influence left in government, riiiiight 🙄

       @ricci and that it is another self-own for Trump's tariff policy. Extort other countries into investing in the US and then kidnap their employees?

       @tobinbaker NPR's coverage this morning at least kind of touched on this in a far-too-gentile manner. But they completely missed the weaponization of "law enforcement" to help favored companies over disfavored ones

       @ricci yeah before it was "beg/flatter/offer bribes for a tariff exemption", now it's "better hope we don't drag your workers off in chains"

       @ricci out of curiosity i checked every article on the first page of search results and only one even mentioned tesla, and that only in the context of EVs in general: "Tesla’s success in popularizing electric vehicles, paired with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act three years ago, brought a flood of money to the sector. "lmao

       @OutOfSpace I mean, they are both egotistical, petty, thin skinned men, I don't find it hard to believe that they were actually mad at each other. But this hasn't split the world in two, it's not like there are not still people in government who will take Elon's call, or at the very least know what he'd appreciate when they show up looking for jobs from him post-government
